I'll touch on that one - do a search for IMAP (an email protocol that I
personally feel is better than POP3) and if your email provider allows that
then use it. It basically communicates with the server quite frequently so
that when you've read it on one machine it appears (but also appears as
having been read) on the other machine. No trickery, no hassles, and these
days we all have bandwidth enough to be able to afford the small overhead.

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock
